"On the Box with Ray Comfort" is a daily (Monday through Friday) live, 27-minute, web-based talk show hosted by Ray Comfort and the Living Waters team. www.ustream.tv/... Episode #439
Porn is my biggest addiction/sin. Please pray for me to fight this sin. I personally have asked God to eliminate this desire from my heart so many years. I want to be 100% for Jesus Christ my lord and saviour
The key to your freedom is renewing your mind your thought life through scriptures, good Christian books, prayer, worship, also its cutting every device in your life that's putting dirty thoughts in your head meaning certain movies possibly staying off internet maybe going on a fast
Ricardo I was going through the same thing a couple of days ago and all you have to do is get rid of temptation. Throw away your phone or something like that. Also repent and put your full trust in Jesus Christ and he will make you born again and cast porn out of your life. God bless you. I wish you the best.
Ricardo. Repent, believe in Jesus, and THEN go preach the Gospel to others....this will conquer your sin. Obedience to the Father. Sin=selfishness. Serve the Kingdom. This is how you conquer it
Pray to Jesus to give you strength to fight, but also do your part, delete Instagram, snapchat, youtube and all things that may tempt you, if you notice a girl dressing provacotive in the street look away quickly, make it a game, put points and Loses to it. The more points you get the better you feel. Fast and sacrifice your flesh, read the bible, and rebuke all the demons and legions that are trying to Tie you up with sin. God Bless you brother!
A couple nights ago, I asked the Lord why as a kid, I grew up liking the same gender and the next morning I woke up and verbally said "witches". Like, as soon as I woke up. I've never done anything like that before. I still have an attraction to men, but I stay to myself and I'm trying my best to live for the Lord. I wanna make it to Heaven to be with my Father and Jesus. It's hard knowing that I'll never have love from someone, but I'd rather make it to Heaven than go to Hell.
Alot of times satan gets to us when we are young and are in the begining stages of developing our thoughts. And at that time, is where it is decided what you would do with your future thoughts and likes. If you decided to reject the thought, at that time satan would have fled, but because you agreed with the thought that opened the door for him to come in and create a strong hold. Some of us were not even fully aware of that event, because we were real young. You are to renounce that event that you thought as a child. And Ask God for forgiveness. And nail it to the Cross, ask God to help you. Get Christian help. read the bible. Know that you have created strongholds in your mind and it may take some time for them to cease, but hold on and dont give up. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
God has a plan for you, a plan to prosper, a plan you have no idea... but it will fill you overflowing beyond your sexual desires, just read his WORD and love his WORD and you will by his WILL be........ what you were made /complete in him
Thanks for posting your testimony, I have much respect for you. I would like to encourage you with a bible verse, Romans 6:6 'For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin - because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.' That's right buddy, if you are in Christ then you are free! You need not be enslaved by your feelings and think you will be alone for life. If Jesus has saved you and given you the holy spirit to live in you then you can truly say to yourself "I'm not a slave to this, I'm free!" I'll be praying for you.
Pls pray for my father, he is a severe alcoholic, he went for treatment but it went bad and started drinking more. My father was a really funny, cool guy before, now he lost his job and is separated from us. I truly wish he would be healed in Jesus name. Amen
@Trent your are absolutely correct those who aren't born again can not understand. Jesus said "you must be born again". Read John 3:5,6. We all must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. It is always each person's choice to enter the kingdom of God or not.
When I was an alcoholic, I could have said "it's genetic, I get a free pass!" But, I didn't. I accepted the fact that I was screwing up, and drowning in sin.
@Dan Kitteringham: Homosexuality is everywhere in nature, just like the causes of alcoholism. It exists naturally. It occurs naturally in every aspect of plant, animal, and human existence. YOU CAN NOT GET RID OF IT! Sugar is the cause of alcoholism. It's everywhere in nature. Life thrives on it. There can be no life on earth without it. But it's highly addictive, especially if it is distilled. Therefore, one must not abuse what occurs naturally, such as sugar and homosexuality, by abusing sugar, processed or distilled, through excessive consumption, or the gay lifestyle through whoremongering. Homosexuality, like sugar, is a beautiful gift from God to humanity. But it cannot be abused as it was in the days of Jeremiah and Paul through male temple prostitution, or today through whoremongering. It is the abuse of any gift that God has given us that is bad, and that is what God condemns.
@Dan Kitteringham: Lol What pain? What sorrow? You people are so trapped within delusion that you assume everyone is in the same predicament as you. I meant every word I said, and every word of it is truth. Homosexuality is not a sin. And yes, I am a Christian.
@Dan Kitteringham: And what I meant by "...you're still an alcoholic" was that you never stop being an alcoholic, just like a drug addict never stops being an addict. You can never drink or use casually again. Never. You know this.
Tim W 1 Corinthians 6:9~ “Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, will inherit the kingdom of God.” ⬆️ sooo you’re telling me that God was lying when He told us this? ... God never changes! So it is not a gift from God, satan gives people the urge to practice homosexuality and some give into the urge, to that temptation. But God says that we are stronger than that and we can resist! (1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalm 46:1 ; Philippians 4:13 ). Don’t try to twist up God’s word. God knows what He is doing and what He said! We need to be reborn again to enter the kingdom of God! And homosexuals are not reborn again if they are still homosexuals. They must be strong and resist the temptation! They must endure til the end like all of us to enter God’s kingdom🙏🏽.
@Gander Stein Very good point I will use it in the future when ppl will say born this way. Thank you brother. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Praise the Lord for His marvelous working power.
it's not about religion it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus Is real He does exist. So all those who don't believe it's just temporary because We All Will meet Our maker. Every eye will see and every tongue Will confess Jesus Is Lord. Jesus said you deny Him He will deny you.
Seems like your God is pretty arrogant. I wouldn't want to spend eternity with a God who is this perversely interested in my mere human acceptance of his existence in a cruel world in which he didn't even make himself obvious for everyone. Honestly I don't think you can call a God who "rewards" the repentant, christian serial killer but "punishes" the innocent child (from a culture that can't possibly lead to it becoming a christian) who dies of bone cancer at the age of 6 after 2 years of agony with eternal torture (which completely eliminates the purpose of punishment: to improve) just or loving. If God really existed, wanted us to obey his law and loved us he would have made everyone believe he is real so no one has to suffer. The idea of how he seems to be playing with humanity as if his creation (which is full of unstoppes terror, pain, suffering and hate) was an experiment (for which he has no reason to execute as he would already know the outcome) is just disgusting. No child deserves such concept of God to be planted into its mind. Believe it if you want to, I respect you for trying to do what you believe is saving people from going to hell. Yet remember you have no point, all you have is a belief which hundreds of other religions equally have as well. Putting your belief higher than any persons free will, especially a vulnerable child's one is just wrong as long as you don't have any true evidence, as you as a Christian are spreading a message intolerance of so called sin which some of people have no reason to be ashamed of. Seriously, do you even consider once why the hell God cares if we eat shellfish, what we do with our hair or what we do with our genitalia?
+Dakotah O'Brien Please explain to me how gay sex causes desease, where have you learnt that? So basically by that logic it would also cause desease if a man would donate blood to another man? You can't be serious thinking gay sex CAUSES disease (not just transmits). Please. Use your basic biologic knowledge if there is any. Man your understanding of gay sex is shocking. Reason your point and argue against my blooddonation example. Why should even the most discerning homosexual know he is doing the objective wrong thing (not just the "sin" that is unsubstantiatedly defined by the bible)? Yes, you are right that even if a person is gay they have the ability to actually not have sex (choosing not to sin in that sense), unfortunately Jesus also said that you are already sinning if you look at a non-wife woman with lust. Similarly, the gay man is already sinning if he does something he can do nothing about. And for that he is supposed to repent, now that is f***** up. Your argument is invalid. Your god has a choice not to send innocents to hell for eternal punishment (which is still messed up, please make a statement on this). But apparently he is not that just but extremely arrogant, as some of his highest demands from us mere humans are to accept his existence (which we rationally have no reason for), to worship him and to repent for breaking a law he has created without substation. Don't tell me that sending an innocent early dying child that has happened to have been born in the wrong culture to eternal pubishment is what a God of Justice would do. And please tell me how gay sex causes disease.
+Dakotah O'Brien Yes and Mohammed claimed that only he has heard the absolute true word of god, so what makes Jesus's statement more credible? You are falling into circular reasoning here: "x is true because Jesus said so and Jesus is right because the bible sais so." Start arguing with the scientific method if you want to make any sense. You didn't even have to quote the bible to state that other religions are wrong if christianity is right, because they contradict. The question is why is christianity right, and reasoning that with base of Christianity, the belief in the truth of the bible is just closeminded. Yes I understand that people are seen as blessed that throw all their trust onto the bible in Christianity. Still it is morally questionable why the christian God requires this from us, why couldn't he just reveal his existence and his law to everyone, not just showing himself but simply making people believe in him, so even the little sick girl has the ability to avoid eternal hellfire. That would be a bit more fair, but no, he has to send the girl, Gandhi and every other innocent agnostic to hell.
+Dakotah O'Brien How does looking at nature prove your God's substance? After all the same logical fallacy can be applied to Allah: "I feel like all this must have been created by someone because it seems so amazing and beautiful, and because my holy Quran sais it was Allah therefore it must be true." Realizing that the body contains water doesn't get you any further. you see the problem here? You know what would have really made the bible at least a bit more believiable? Maybe some extraordinary knowledge like germ theory (hygiene), or an explanation of why basically everything we perceive regarding the origin of our planet points into a different direction than creation. And even if there was a creation, what makes your religion's unjustified answers more viable? And again answer me please about the gay sex causing disease issue, I want to understand how you came up with that. Also please attempt to resolve the moral dilemma of the sick child described in previous replies: How can you call such a God good, just and righteous? What are your views on the purpose of eternal punishment? Do you agree that he is arrogant, argue why. When I answer your replies I always go through each sentence to answer everything you ask, it would be nice if you could do the same in return, thanks!
+Gero Sundermeyer To add: When I said that extraordinary knowledge would have made the bible a bit more believable I didn't say why, just to clarify: The Bible is obviously written accordingly to its time, and because many Non-christians doubt that it is the word of god (but a book with completely man made content) it would have really given the bible something remarkably supernatural if it had something in it that made it seem like I couldn't just have been created by people of that time. What we have is a book with some contradictions and errors, although admittedly rather consistent in its 40 ("sub"-) books.
Steve Roberts Brother I love you. However, it seems like you have itching ears to hear what you want to hear. I was the same way with marijuana and masturbation. Please man, don’t be deceived, your life will be so much more peaceful when you starve the flesh. You’ve got this through God. Love you.
Steve Roberts oh so sorry you feel that way. Our Father calls it an abomination in Old Testament. Then go to Romans 1 in New Testament and read. This isn’t my feelings. It is our Fathers feelings. Doesn’t matter what man wrote what book...read what I’m telling you for your sake.
@@jdruiz_95 Being attracted to the same-sex or anyone isn't a sin. It's TEMPTATION. Sexual arousal is normal. That attraction/temptation becomes a sin when you act on it or when you lust with your thoughts. In itself, attraction is not a sin.
Deseo Synergy She’s not judging; she’s only the messenger telling her that we have God’s Word that says HE will judge all without the miracle of the new birth that gives a new heart w/ new desires. THAT’S real love. John 3:3- Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Read it all for yourself. Start w/ the book of John.
Deseo Synergy God does not condone this behavior. He tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44) And TRUE Christians wouldn’t do those things, True Christians are Christ-like... and Christ (if you know his character) would neverrr do those things to the lgbtq community or to ANYONE for he is the same yesterday, today and forever (KJV; Hebrews 13:8). So do not let people tear you away from eternal life and a relationship with God because they are being horrible examples of Christians. God hates when people hate others! We are suppose to LOVE! So We do not hate them, We love them soooo much that we want them to live a TRUE GREAT LIFE with their savior Jesus Christ HERE and have ETERNAL LIFE when they pass away. HOW MUCH MORE LOVING CAN WE BE? I love you so much that i want to see you go to heaven. And I am so sorry that you had a bad experience with Christianity or a bad view on it because of FAKE Christians. I, a true Christian, am telling you that we love everyone and want what is truly the best for them. We get persecuted more than ever (Mathew 5:11) but we continue to endure because we love God so much and we love people too. God bless you 🙏🏽❤️. So if you want to make your first step to Christ all you have to do is repent, turn away from your sins and turn to Christ, and I promise you that it will be the BEST decision you will ever make in your life. You will experience TRUE PEACE, TRUE JOY, AND TRUE LIFE! That void you feel time to time or maybe all the time WILL BE FILLED! So do it NOW before it is too late! Salvation doesn’t seem like a gift until it is taken away from you... it doesn’t seem like a gift until God casts you into hell for eternity and you understand what it feels like,, how horrible it is. I will pray for you. God bless 🙏🏽❤️.
@Deseo Synergy you broke commandments in your comment... one who knows God and turns from Him bible says its better to of never been born for the fate you will suffer..
Because we are born “ this way” a sinner, means we have to do everything in our power to seek the truth and change the way we live. No matter what our sin is.
Psalm 51:5 Says we are all born in sin, so we are all born with the susceptibility to various sins. God created man and women in his own image, but sin has corrupted our bloodline and now we all need the mercy of God through his payment of our fines (Jesus' sacrifice) to gain eternal life.
@Richard Fox everyone's sin is part of them because sin has now corrupted humans since Satan tricked Adam and Eve. Humans were made perfect (in God's image), but now we are corrupt. So we can only repent and trust Jesus for our salvation. We repent to make sure we're not calling Satan, jesus. We trust Jesus to receive his gift coz for whatever reason some people don't want to go to heaven, so he gives us a choice.
How can someone say that they knew they were gay from a prepubescent age, like 5 or 6? NOBODY at that age is thinking about sex or who they're attracted to unless an adult is putting those ideas in their head.
Sexuality develops over time through a chain of natural and unnatural events and experiences. Unfortunately our world has become very unnatural. Only through Christ can we overcome our sin against what is good and natural. God bless in Jesus name...
@@justbelieve7529 We are living in the most advanced and prosperous time in history. And homosexuality being accepted is nothing new en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_ancient_Rome m.ruclips.net/video/MDQsRUy7Fao/видео.html
Matt Bird, no gene has been found yet, despite what you have heard or read. That homosexuality is a learned behavior can be seen in nature and in all the cultures around the world. It is a Self-Evident Truth. Two same sex couples can never become one flesh. There is a way out if you want it, and it is not through therapy. I have a grandson that married another man last month. It is very sad. I personally know what took place in my grandson's life, like you believes he was born gay. He was not his parents failed him in various forms. He has attempted suicide 3 times, he doe not know that I know. One of his several partners once countered my grandson when he said homosexuals are born gay, his friend responded to him, "No, it is learned behavior." My grandson was 21 at that time and new to the gay scene, his friend and mate was 43, almost as old as his mother by a couple of years. (my daughter) My grandson faces an insurmountable challenge as both his divorced parents approve and encourage him, as well as his step-father. God bless, praying you can find your way in life.
mawgwat rodarte there was a study about this, ofc it is part learned behavior as well but there is a gene that increases the likelihood of one being born gay. while this does not make much sense in evolutionary terms, the other side of the coin is that females with that same gene are more likely to give birth to bigger amount of babies. in short it makes one more attracted to men, in both men and women.
How is it sad, your grandson has found someone he loves. If he and his partner feel that way about each other and want to share their lives together why should this be sad. I'm so sick of people trying to change others sexuality, leave them be. I know this through several of my friends and family members who are gay and have come out about it.
Yo this goes out to all the atheists why do you need to comment on matters of God if there is no God by your standards. What is hurting you so much that you must say your points I'm just wanting to reason...because you hate me because of him but I love you because of him... If any of you would like to go deeper I would love to talk with you personally over the phone or in an email and we could just dialogue I'm not going to try to win an argument I just want a reason!
Generally it is because religious beliefs are dogmatic by nature and heavily encourage subservience and obedience. Should someone question those established beliefs they are often berated, ostracized, or in some areas of the world, brutalized or killed. Naturally believers are typically the ones to initiate the negative responses from non-believers and especially in the more evangelical west, the notion of secularism is a fault that needs correction. It is this arrogance and imposition that perpetuates an intense divide between stances. Atheists are a minority group, and by virtue of that recieve FAR more scrutiny than any believer ever concievable could. Atheists, much like gay people, if simply left to their own devices, would have functioned just fine, especially in this increasingly secularized world driven by information and diversity. However, recounting the dogmatic nature of religion, those who are "different" are often prime targets for ignorant remarks born of those very beliefs. As a result you either fight fervently for your ability to think and exist freely as a human being( hence youtube comments and arguments), or you submit to the paradigm of stifled thinking and acceptance built upon a foundation of faith and no evidence.
You have to know what your doing wrong in order to correct it. Without rules there is no order. what's so bad about believing and doing the right thing? God even awards you for doing the right thing. The Bible has a lot of science all of which is correct, it is historic which has been proven countless times. But people choose to dismiss the content for no good reason, just excuses. We all know the truth but we choose to convince ourselves otherwise
My thoughts exactly! And I would also add something that boggles my mind about atheists who comment saying Christians are stupid and irrational etc....but literally one of the most irrational things an atheist could go is waste the precious little time they have on this earth commenting. Take that minute and go out and enjoy your life and experiences because once you die that's it, back to blackness, nothingness! So what a royal waste of time and completely irrational act. What are you doing!? So get out there and expirience your life while you can and stop wasting it in pointless arguments (because theres literally no point to anything lol) because according to their belief that's it! It's crazy to me lol
Love that last bit about forgiveness-powerful! I walked away from homosexuality in 2007-I was scared to death to loose my “identity”, but God had so much more for me! Never doubt the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep praying for the lost. They will see when it is REVEALED to them. Be encouraged, family 🙏🏻
There are many Christians who are good people. The ones the people with rude comments are blasting are the loudest ones. Please dont listen to them and think that they represent all Christians. I am a Christian but i love gays as much as i do heterosexuals. I hate what many of them do and i do not support it but i do not hate the people. Many Christians (myself included) want to reach out to them because we care about everyone and want whats best for everyone. Whether anyone chooses to accept it or not is up to them, but i will continue to reach out.
+I'm A Trapdøør , you obviously have trouble reading, and typing for that matter. Mitchy clearly stated he "loves gays" and that he "does not support it (them). Basically saying that he loves them the way Christ would have us love them, but to NOT support their lifestyle, and to point them to the truth.
zandrello You obviously have trouble reading, and typing for that matter. I clearly "oh... lol I'm sorry." Basically saying I didn't realise my mistake until fourteen weeks ago.
What is the point if it does nothing to cleanse original sin. Would you continue to punish someone that you claim to have forgiven for their past actions or would that be dishonest at best?
@@trevorgarcia6612 You're welcome! Hey, if you are watching this because you were raised Christian and are gay, if it would be helpful to you, I could steer you to the sources that show that the Bible is, in large part, made up by men. I was a devout Bible-believing Christian for 20 years+. Just let me know. It is a historical fact that Jesus DID live and teach and was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and people do meet him in the afterlife in the Near Death Experiences, but he didn't actually start the new guilt and grace-based religion that Paul started. The book of John completely disagrees with everything that Jesus says about himself in the four gospels that were written decades before John. And if you aren't gay, I'm sure you know Jesus said that we have no right to judge anyone. ;)
@@trevorgarcia6612 And the Shroud of Turin appears to prove that God exists because it contains so much data that only a subatomic laser could have put the holographic data onto the shroud. Jesus exists, but he never said that he was God.
You love darkness. If you don’t repent and turn away from it, you will die to your sin. There is no formula for quitting your sin other than a desire to seek Jesus and everything with Christ. Period.
im a ex gay, people can be born with homosexuals thoughts and desires or it can happen later in life but they can choose by knowing the its in fact not them. Not everything you feel and think comes from you
If i dont meet your standards of having been gay, i have my friend rozzy who was lesbian for 30 something years. The same thing happened to her like me and ive been taking at least 20 other people out the same way. Homosexuality is not dependent on the person its a spirit a second person living its life through a person by making them think its really them. If you think its schizophrenic then you have people who are suicidal, cutters, homosexual, drug addicts, and others under that label. Ive had people put down the razor blade after the spirit has gone feeling joy they never knew. What do you have to offer, i say this in love
I hope you are straight because you are physically aroused by women because if men is your thing bro, just go for it! In today's society its actually the homophobic crazys who are on the fringes of society! NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY!
Lol an "ex gay"? Like Ted Haggard? Did you pay away the gay? What kind of good are toy devoting your life to that wouldn't even accept you for whip you are? There is no "ex gay" you will continue to have attraction and u urges toward the same sex
RecnorGaming What if kids are his thing? or horses? or unwilling men or women? I could go on...but I just mean to say that inclination is in no way justification. We all hold back on a good many impulses that it would be wrong to act on.
I think they got a spirit of lust and the enemies are clever because the angels drop out of heaven because we all loved things that are sin but when Jesus saved you you can give it up with joy i know because i was on heroin
The reason Christians have such a hard time accepting the fact that gay people ARE born that way is that they would also then have to accept that their God made them that way. And if God made them that way, why does he condemn them?
The reason we do not embrace homosexual behavior is BECAUSE God calls it an abomination. If he did not care there would not be an issue. I used to say to each his own until God showed me it is not right.
Of course people are born gay (or straight). Sexual orientation is set in the womb and is congenital, innate, inborn, and unchangeable. To say people aren't born gay is no different that shouting out "I'm an idiot!".
Martin Krøyer my argument was not to indicate that because something is natural means that it is good or better. Good or better is determined by the person doing an action who may ignore what other person set as a good or better standard. My argument was to discern what is natural and unnatural because same gender sexual behaviour is suggested to be natural by design which is not the case. The trick is to have everybody think it is natural regardless of being good or better. People should not be fooled. The concept of desire equated to the roman type love based on lust may take over the mind and fuel a passion that are considered strange by some people even though considered good and normal in the minds of the passionate person.
OpenAirOutreach choosing not to act on homosexual feelings doesn't mean they're not gay or lesbian anymore. you saying that they may still have those temptations clearly lets you know they are still homosexuals. if they were ex-homosexuals then they wouldn't even have those temptations whatsoever. choosing not to act on a same sex attraction doesn't mean you're no longer homosexual. i'm hispanic, if i choose not to act "hispanic" it still doesn't make me not hispanic. no matter how i act i can't ever stop being hispanic, it's who i am. it's just logic and reason.
Under your logic an adulterer who chooses to stay with their spouse in spite of attraction to other women is not being true to their adulterous self. Or a person in the situation or incest or bestiality or pedophilia or even fornication who choose not to act on his desire is not being true to themselves. And your partially right. They are not be true to their sinful human nature. But if they know Christ they are now being true to their new nature in Christ.
If your boss tells you not to do something that's a pretty basic rule otherwise you lose your job, don't do it. Simple as that. It's the same way with God. Don't ask "how is this wrong?" I'm pretty sure if he created the entire universe and gave you life, you have no right to say what is right and wrong. Whatever he says is right and wrong, is the ground rule for what is right or wrong. If I was born a murderer, should I give into the temptation to kill people? No, of course not, that's ridiculous. Homosexuality can be seen in the same light. Just because you have the temptation to have sexual relations with the same sex doesn't mean you should. The city of Sodom was burned to the ground with holy fire because of sexual immorality. It's stated in Leviticus that a man shall not lay with man nor beast as he lays with woman, for it is an abomination before God. I really don't know how it can be simplified any more about how homosexuality is morally wrong in the eyes of God. He says it is wrong, therefore it is wrong.
You do know that it was written in the Old Testament, originally meant for the Jews who were the chosen people of God when the law was completely different in it's time, right? Even the new testament wouldn't be for the gentiles until the apostle Paul was sent to preach to them. Oh, that's right, actually learning the christian religion would be ludicrous. It's much better to just look up random things and spew nonsense.
I don't believe it said anywhere that it was abolished, mm? I didn't see anywhere in the new testament where it said man and man, or woman and woman to be married. If I read correctly it always said man and woman. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Since never did it ever say same sex marriage was alright. Besides...if God destroyed entire city's over homosexuality, I doubt he just decided "eh, it's fine now." Since a sin will always remain a sin. Never has something been revoked as no longer being evil...one being homosexuality.
Mark Spence: Welcome to On The Box . I’m Mark Spence alongside the infamous Ray Comfort. Ray Comfort: No no, that’s not a good adjective. Mark Spence: The…….no. Ray Comfort: Humble. Mark Spence: The humble.... Ray Comfort: Yeah, you know what that means? Like Al Capone. Mark Spence: It means you’re famous. Ray Comfort: Al Capone was infamous. It means you’re a bad guy. Mark Spence: Criminal. Ray, you're a lot of things, but humble ain't one of them.
***** Don't worry folks. His claim to be humble was so patently absurd, that I understood it to be an ironic joke :) I wasn't laughing at this exchange though... Mark Spence: You know there’s a very common maxim-like saying out there that says we are to love the sinner, but we are to hate the sin. What do you think of those thoughts? Ray Comfort: I don’t think the two can be divorced from each other I think you'll agree that it sounds very much like Ray, and his god, hate gay people. It's just a sugarcoated version of the WBC claims. Absolutely shameful that people would behave like this, and worse still, think they are 'holy', 'righteous' and 'sanctified' in doing so. I guess that ties in well with the ironic joke you made about humbleness early on in the film. Do you care that gay people are four times more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals...primarily down to the very high levels of homophobic bullying, and sanctimonious religious profiteers decreeing that they are 'sick', 'sinful', and 'handicapped' (that was a Mark Spence comment - absolutely vile)? I guess the situation in the US is better than that in Uganda though because courtesy of religious zealots like Ray, until recently, the Christian government decreed that homosexuality was punishable by death (www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/how-uganda-was-seduced-by-antigay-conservative-evangelicals-9193593.html). The team at Living Waters are contributing to making the worse a more dangerous, hateful place. All you have to do to see that this is true, is read Ray's FB page. It's shameful what you do in the name of your god.
+joeforHistruth What 'truth'? I always hear religious folk speak in knowing terms about 'truth', all claiming to have a monopoly on it, but when you ask them to define it, you get blown off with a cryptic answer that is completely subjective to the person issuing it, and is as malleable as necessary to ensure it cannot be held as a standard. For me, 'truth' is that which can be verified with facts or accords with reality. For you, 'truth' is apparently your particular interpretation of a particular holy book full of magical claims...but if I ask a direct question that could empirically be used as a standard, such as 'is a bat a bird, like your holy book says?', you will dodge it and use special pleading to avoid the fact your 'truth' means nothing. Objective truths, such as 2+2=4 are just as true and verifiable in America as they are in India, Europe, or Antartica. 'Truths' that are subjective, changeable, undefinable, unfalsifiable, improbable and irrational, aren't 'truths'. They're superstitious nonsense, and people who tout their religious 'truths' as fact, are arrogant and deluded. As Gide said... “Trust those who seek the truth but doubt those who say they have found it.”
It's quite simple to accept one might say: "I was born this way (gay/homosexual et cetera)" The person claiming this can be entirely correct, they just need to see that they can be born again and repent...
Norman Bates Good name norm! but your "facts" are way off as to the people who wrote the Bible...that type of information is hidden away in something called books...you should try one sometime!
I think this video is as important now as it was 8 years ago. I have been wondering about this question for years and have received clear answers! Thanks guys!
2015 is a year where America has taken another step away from bigoted, homophobic superstition. We may not be the first country to have pushed in favor of gay marriage, but hopefully the rest of the world will learn from our example and move to a better future for our kids! I didn't choose to be heterosexual, and homosexuals didn't choose their sexuality either!
+MrBradFu Do you have the choice to stay straight? Does an asexual have the choice to stay sexually unmotivated by neither gender? I'm working on my BA in psychology and I can tell you there are no credible peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate what you say.
+MrBradFu So if you have a choice to stay straight then that means you could choose to be gay. I can tell you, I can't choose to turn myself gay, and I didn't choose to be straight. You must be a closet bisexual, if you can choose to swing one way or another. And the "scientists" that disagree with me have no peer reviewed scientific journals to present.
This is a wonderful program! God Bless. I do have to say... Everything y'all said about the boxing gloves coming out it true.... My daughter took me out of her life after confronting her with tears. She was angry! I finally had to deal with her "choices"... Just to be back in her life! I am praying for her to get out of that sin. She threw my own sin into my face... So I'm stuck on what to do... So I just pray for conviction!!!! I love her so much.... Thank you again. God Bless Y'all!!!!!!
Well, let me tell you something. My daughter was 16 and beginning to wonder if she was homosexual. She is a Christian. I had nothing to do with this, either. It was all God. I am a Christian, too, and was distressed as a Mom over this. I prayed and low and behold a friend of hers was talking to a friend of his and he was describing his perfect girl to my daughter's friend. Her friend said, 'That sounds exactly like Robin'. He introduced the two of them and they fell in love just like that. They are married now and he is a Christian, too. They are deeply in love and only 20 and 22 years old. Oh, the power of the Holy Spirit. God would not allow her to go the wrong direction and He stepped in and had her meet her husband in perfect timing. It could not have been more perfectly done. Praise God!
If you struggle with the lies say this: I confess I am not a homosexual. I am a straight man. I love women and I reject any and all forms of homsoexuality. Devil leave me right now in Jesus name. If you struggle with those lies confess this.
I'm personally agnostic, but i dont see why you have such a problem with people being gay. If you dont think being gay is moral then dont do it! Just live and let live and let other people do what they way. Thats just how i feel.
bobby boy It's not wrong because we have a problem with it. It's wrong because our Creator says it is wrong and to stand by and say nothing is like standing by as a child is playing in the street and saying, "I would never stand in the street but that child is having so much fun and it's none of my business to tell them what to do." Obviously the kind act is to warn the child and so it is with homosexuality. We are warning gays (and straight) that God has appointed a Day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. Liars, thieves, murderers, rapists, adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals are all in danger of God's wrath, which is why we need Jesus. Jesus suffered for our sinners on the Cross and rose again defeating death. He took the punishment for ours sins. If we repent and put their trust in Jesus, God can forgive the debt.
***** Why would you assume Christians would "strictly adhere" to these laws? You are quoting from ancient Israeli civil law (where you also find commands for clothing and dietary restrictions) which was written for Israel specifically and for that nation ONLY. It expired with the demise of the Jewish civil government 2,000 years ago, so it is ignorant for you to try and attribute those laws to any other society.
***** If God wants us to not be gay, even though all homosexuals are born gay, why would he punish people who didn't choose to be who they are. P.S. People do not choose to be gay, and if you say different, then when did you choose to be straight?
***** I have no problem with christians thinking being gay is wrong as long as they don't make 1.make laws about it 2.Hurt LGBT individuals physically or emotionally. I respect your right to disagree.
bobby boy I am a Christian, I agree with you. We don't believe for many reasons that homosexuality is ok, but our God does not give us permission to force anyone or hurt anyone into our beliefs. All we can do is share our views with grace and love and show you God's love. For this is a very important matter of life in death, and Jesus Christ wants us all to live, but He will not force us. But we have a problem, the LGBT community is forcing us to do things against our beliefs. We cannot make you anything "Gay wedding related", but we can serve you food and provide you with medicine. To make you a gay wedding cake, it is to go against scripture and say go ahead. Another way to see this is, it is like making a Muslim cook you pork. A Hindu cook you beef, making peta member kill you an animal. Asking a black tailor to make you a KKK uniform. I honestly love the gay people, even though I disagree with their actions. Jesus Christ Bless you and may you read his message to you, it is way different than what you see on T.V. Jesus Christ means good for us.
Jesus tells us in the gospel that few will find the strait gate and narrow way and many would follow the broadway. In other words, most would not go through the narrow gate. He also said many would say Lord I did this and that in your name and He will say depart I never knew you. Make sure you know him not just know about him.
Gail Newton so you acknowledge that the book and ideals that you hold so dear where rendered based on religions much older than yours and reinterpreted in order to make your religionous beliefs at the forefront
All Glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that died for us on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead 3 days later and All Glory to Yahweh Amen
Oh, I agree with this! 6:00 I was saved 3 times before I was saved. 4th time is the charm! My heart wasn't in it the first 3 times because I didn't understand my need for God. Since then, He's the best thing that has ever happened to me! :D
You are only saved once. Not four times. I think I know what you are expressing; however, to someone who doesn't understand the things of God, the phrasing you have used could be confused with meaning other things. What you meant was you thought that you were saved previously; however, you were wrong the time, and then was later saved.
To those of you who think that being a homosexual comes by choice… tell me when exactly you chose to engage in heterosexual activity? Are you aware that homosexuality exists in the natural world? Humans are not the only organisms who exhibit that behavior.
I know of two siblings that are the youngest of 10 siblings. The mother had them when she was in her 40s. Both of them turn out to be homosexuals when they grew up. One female, and one male. The older siblings and the parents could tell the male was different since he was little because he enjoyed going to the beauty salon and being among the women getting their hairs done. The female has admitted to knowing she was different from her friends since she could remember because she was attracted to her friends, not boys. Neither of these siblings were raised differently from the oldest. The entire family is religious. The oldest children all are heterosexuals. I say, there is something there to that claim of being “born gay”. I do understand some might use it as a free pass thinking that makes them free of sin. However, to deny biology is not wise. We use biology for the gender, and abortion arguments against unbelievers and it works all the time. Because nothing that God has made can ever overwrite Gods will. Being that the case, I say like some children are born autistic, some are born gay. Not saying is okay to be gay if you are born that way. I’m just saying it could be something went wrong in the making. Just like something goes wrong when kids has defects at birth and such things. Also, psychopaths have been proven to be born psychopaths. Isn’t that also a sin? Yet they can be born that way. It doesn’t make it less sinful. But it is something to think about.
If you don't have any experience being homosexual, you have no right to say, "They were born to sin just like fornicators and adultors." Seriously? You aren't born a fornicator nor an adultor. I think you need to have a homosexual on this show to be able to talk about it at all. Oh, and according to Leviticus men with facial hair won't inherit the Kingdom of God.
Ray posted 10yrs ago and still so relevant today.... living waters/living WORD..... if only ALL would open their eyes of their souls to the living WORD !!! well done Brothers... all for the truth of life and to his Glory....... The Bible is the truth despite what we all think...truth is truth !!!
The purpose of sex is to procreate. That is its purpose. Like with eating, the purpose of eating is to process food for the body. We enjoy it, but even that must have the proper balance. People can form taste for things that are not considered foods. ex: There are cases where some people form taste for cigarette ash, wax, and other odd choices. They can't live off of these choices because their bodies can't process it. They simply enjoy the taste, but can't benefit from it. Same with sexual appetite. The purpose of sex is procreation. We can't have sex with whatever simply because we enjoy sex, or because there are not enough of the opposite sex around or we think it would feel good with something else. You must have parameters that works in accord with the body. The male body cannot even process semen on any level. Nor was the organs in question made for penetration. If that was the case, the anus would basically be a vagina. The vagina is designed perfectly without question and can process semen on every level. In homosexuality semen is a waste and the act itself is very dangerous.
My Mum's non Christian take on it. One + One = Zero. No potential for life at all. A desire against the science of our natural bodies & humanity.. Most of us don't realise either..... All sexual acts which are outside of a heterosexual marriage union are based in false worship practices. That is why Bible teaching is very plain about it. These activities are from fertility rites to idols. One false God was called Ba'al PEOR. False god of the openings, mouth.....so any orifice is acceptable for use for orgasm. Another was about worshipping excrement, flies & dead things... ba'al zebub Moderns haven't a clue they are playing into Satan's kingdom. Just because people don't understand the spiritual reality & the image humans were made in by the Creator they want to ignore, doesn't mean it is OK. Satan uses the strong sex drive & perverts our desires to teach humans to defile their physical & spiritual image that God gave us. So on that level it isn't OK & prevents us receiving blessings now & after death. I am glad Yeshua saved me out of my sexual sin & gave me a new life. Bless you.
So many people say"Two guys being in a relationship doesn't hurt anyone. What is morally wrong about it if no one is hurt?" Well you can say the same thing about an adult mother and an adult son, who use contraception, engage in physical acts. Would you say that incest is morally correct? You know that it is wrong because God stated that both are immoral. If you support one by consent you support the other.
***** If they are both of age and both consent in each example, who is to say that it's wrong? I say that morality was given by God not man. You inherently believe that incest between 2 people of age who consent to sexual acts in the privacy of their bedroom is wrong, how is that different from two men? The same points can be made for both.
Wade b.r. simply put, there's no evidence as of yet that incest isn't a choice. however, theres mountains of evidence suggesting that homosexuality is not a choice
friends, let's just say for the sake of argument that there is a God, and that he is ruler and creator of all things in existence. And since he is the one in control of his creation, he made some rules, an order of processes and functions and roles that decide how said creation works! Now let's say, just like a computer hacker, one of his rebellious rogue creations goes into that creation and lays a seed/virus that mucks things up, sets into motion a self district sequence that begins to through creation into disorder. Now let's fast forward to now, things have progressed and that virus, I.e. sin , has caused all of humanity to begin to stay from creations order and are now experiencing processes that weren't originally planned, things are becoming natural that used to be perversions of nature. It it's now natural for human beings to be and do lots of things that weren't in the original plan! So that is where Jesus Christ and the cross come in, the cross was designed as an anti virus, a war to help people born into a sinful world with sinful desires and sinful tendencies, to a place where the the spirit of God can take them and make them into what he had intended all along, his living children! And the only reason we fight back against this is because, A; many people misunderstand a imperfect translated bible, and B; people want to be able to remain "the way they were born", that's is to be able to live their lives as sinful beings and not be convicted! The whole world is broken and tainted, not just people. I was born with the tendencies to become addicted to anything that I liked, like food, video games, porn and many other things, that doesn't means I should allow myself to become and addict, God wants all people to know he doesn't look at men's actions, he didn't see their appearance, he looks at peoples hearts, which means looks at our thoughts and our desires,and wether out not we are actively living those out, or if we struggling to follow his plans, and if sin is found and we do not repent before out death, than we will be cat into he'll fire eternity, which is against his will, we were created to bee his companions, to lovingly worship him as the creator of all things! If we could just real our heads around that,and accept that we aren't the most important thing around that we weren't made so that we could be served, but so that we could serve GOD! If we could get this and accept it we would all find happiness! Being born a certain way didn't mean that way is good or right, so instead of arguing on semantics we should get to the heart of it! Accept Christ as your savior and make him Lord of your life, pressing fervently that he would help you live as he had planned from the beginning, as child of living God! Be blessed friends, to those who are still lost and to those who have accepted the Lord's salvation!
Don't love them to Hell. God calls us to be Salt & Light. Do lot's of research in Gods word and then you will be equipped to go to them IN LOVE & share what you have learned. If they reject YOU remember they aren't rejecting you, they are rejecting Christ. Be careful to not worry about rejection. There was a time when many of my old friends rejected me for my beliefs. I didn't wear them on my are, but my life changed and they weren't comfortable around me. Eventually we parted ways...peacefully.
Very true. Just about every person I have spoken with who is bisexual, homosexual, or transgender have had some early sexual experience that led them away from heterosexuality. I have found that when molested by the same sex the people tend to lean more towards same-sex attraction. When raped at an older stage by an opposite sex person they go toward same-sex. The psychology behind it is very interested, but no one has been "born" gay from what I've seen.
Not e everybody who is same sex attracted was molested I think that's a simplistic answer this is of course a sin issue but most of the guys I've known weren't always that way because of abuse
Mars Kedzior Sorry you feel that way, I can totally understand why someone would feel that way when presented with the garbage peddled here, but I'm a Christian who believes that God and the bible doesn't condemns someone's orientation but when read in it's proper historical context it's condemning behaviours such as gang rape, idolatry, lust and prostitution.
Mars Kedzior It was something that bugged me when I became a Christian, it's plainly obvious that generally (not all) Christians have treated the LGBT community shamefully and very damaging to those affected. It also hurts the church who has generally become known more for what it's against rather than what it's for. Once I began to devote some proper study to the clobber passages I began to see that it wasn't someone's orientation that was being condemned but behaviours, big difference. Sadly I don't see a lot of Jesus in churches these days but plenty of Pharisee like do as I say not as I do types. But I always have hope that'll change, those in the church that are fully accepting is small and fledgling but it's growing. I'm so sorry you've had to deal with that emotionally abusive garbage, it's totally unChristlike.
I'm an atheist who tries to watch these with an open mind, but I can't take you guys seriously on this point. I've known too many androgynous, fabulous guys who consistently tried to convince themselves they were straight to think that being gay is a choice. They CAN'T choose to be heterosexual any more than I could choose to be homosexual.
People who hit dislike want to believe that people are born gay though there is no evidence for the same. They are willing to ignore numerous testimonies of X gay people and pretend as if this is natural so that their sexual perversions can somehow find justification.

@ lefay, if it's so prevalent at birth, as you say, then why can't science in all of it's infinite wisdom detect the gene? If it is as you say, then it must be in the DNA, but you accuse us of believing in a myth or imaginary being, yet it is you, yourself that refuses to accept not only the lack of proof through science, but also biblical truths. You must choose, for you can't serve two masters, for you will love one more than the other.
Why the hell would this guy even care? He thinks people are born in sin. Is it really that big a problem in his worldview to think that someone was born gay (which, in his view, is a sin)?
What a relief. When I first saw the title, I thought, "Oh no, here we go." I thought I was going to hear you say the things I hear a lot of Christians or maybe just conservatives say about this subject. I'm a born-again Christian, I love Jesus with all of my heart. But I'm gay. I can't help it. I don't sleep with men, I have nothing to do with that lifestyle anymore, God gave me a new heart. But I'm still attracted to men. I didn't ask for this. Absolutely, yes, we are born this way. So I was waiting to hear you say what I always hear... and that is that we gay people are "mentally ill." Thank you for never saying that! Most gays will never repent. But there's hope for some! Albeit a few. And for the ones who do turn away, I know for me at least, It's hard to feel like I fit in with this community (the Church). So I appreciate the empathy.How do you share the gospel with homosexuals? The same way you do with heterosexuals. And don't tell them they're going to hell because they're gay. Tell them they'll go to hell if they die in their sins, without the forgiveness of God we get through grace by faith in Jesus.
The temptation will always be there. An alcoholic doesn't just lose the desire to drink when they quit drinking. A drug addict doesn't just lose the want for the next hit. God never promised an easy road but He did promise that He would abandon us to our on devices because if they were the case we would all be doomed. I myself have problems with swearing and had a huge problem with alcohol. I have (with Gods grace) gotten my urge to drink under control. Now I just have to bridle my tongue. Stay strong and read your bible. God bless.
I think my biggest struggle is the idea that I will never be in a relationship - I obviously cannot. I cannot marry a woman because that would be a complete lie and it will make her miserable. And I obviously cannot follow my desires because that will lead to sin. So the only alternative is never having a soul-mate. It feels like a curse which I will never be rid of. This is why I get annoyed at many Christian brothers and sisters - not because I disagree with them but because they cannot begin to fathom the soulful agony a person like us feels when we realise we'll be alone and there will never be a wedding, or children, or a big family, or any of the wonderful things they take for granted. One day our parents will pass away, our siblings (if we have them, which I don't) will move away and have their own families, and we will remain alone, living a life devoid of anyone to share moments with. Even if you have friends, you'll always be second, third, fourth. Never the one; the most important person they can rely on. And this is why anyone comparing it to alcoholism or any other addiction is way off the mark - those who suffer from such issues can still have all those wonderful things if they are attracted to women. Our only single hope is that maybe... possibly... there's a slim chance that God has some sort of a bigger gift for us to make up for the loneliness of our existence.
Ephesians 4: 24. "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." God will give us a new heart and a desire for righteousness if we turn from our sins and follow him. We have been given a new identity in Christ, the old man is dead. Let us all allow God to shape us and mold us so we can all fulfill His perfect plan for us.
@@beltashazzar5277 Thanks for sharing..It is difficult being single I feel..I have been celibate for nearly 8 yrs. I'm a heterosexual Christian woman but it's really not easy to meet decent Christian men! It can be tormenting at times. Hard to know whether one just has to accept it. I admire you for your commitment to Jesus. One day all this will be behind us..
a1seus "god told people to kill? why does that sound like he messes with free will?" You don't seem to understand free will. Those people still had a choice to obey of not. Free will is being able to make any choice you want to. The results of those choices can be good, bad or relatively neutral.
the reason many who are not really believers can remain comfortably in most churches is because very little of the gospel is preached. it is a watered down gospel message.
Homosexuality is a choice? Tell that to all of the people who have lived in shame, or even taken their own lives because of how ashamed they were in themselves that they could not change the way they felt, and that their families/friends were not supportive. Anyone who believes homosexuality is a choice, or that it can be "turned off" at some sort of Gay to Straight camp is lying to themselves. I am a person of religion, but growing up with a cousin who has been "different" from other boys his age since the day he was born, I support and stand behind homosexuality 100% and no one can make me believe differently.
Of course being gay is a choice. We all wake up everyday with neutral sexuality and look at a poster of a man and a woman in a bathing suit... Then we choose which one we are going to be sexually attracted to that day. Some days I flip a coin to choose my sexuality.. isnt that how everyone does it?
Porn is my biggest addiction/sin. Please pray for me to fight this sin. I personally have asked God to eliminate this desire from my heart so many years. I want to be 100% for Jesus Christ my lord and saviour
The key to your freedom is renewing your mind your thought life through scriptures, good Christian books, prayer, worship, also its cutting every device in your life that's putting dirty thoughts in your head meaning certain movies possibly staying off internet maybe going on a fast
Ricardo I was going through the same thing a couple of days ago and all you have to do is get rid of temptation. Throw away your phone or something like that. Also repent and put your full trust in Jesus Christ and he will make you born again and cast porn out of your life. God bless you. I wish you the best.
Ricardo Estrada be born again 🙏
Ricardo. Repent, believe in Jesus, and THEN go preach the Gospel to others....this will conquer your sin. Obedience to the Father. Sin=selfishness. Serve the Kingdom. This is how you conquer it
Pray to Jesus to give you strength to fight, but also do your part, delete Instagram, snapchat, youtube and all things that may tempt you, if you notice a girl dressing provacotive in the street look away quickly, make it a game, put points and Loses to it. The more points you get the better you feel. Fast and sacrifice your flesh, read the bible, and rebuke all the demons and legions that are trying to Tie you up with sin. God Bless you brother!
A couple nights ago, I asked the Lord why as a kid, I grew up liking the same gender and the next morning I woke up and verbally said "witches". Like, as soon as I woke up. I've never done anything like that before. I still have an attraction to men, but I stay to myself and I'm trying my best to live for the Lord. I wanna make it to Heaven to be with my Father and Jesus. It's hard knowing that I'll never have love from someone, but I'd rather make it to Heaven than go to Hell.
What a smart choice you made. Most people would’ve thrown away their gift from god over their sexuality you are for sure a servant of the lord
Praying for you.hugs
Alot of times satan gets to us when we are young and are in the begining stages of developing our thoughts. And at that time, is where it is decided what you would do with your future thoughts and likes. If you decided to reject the thought, at that time satan would have fled, but because you agreed with the thought that opened the door for him to come in and create a strong hold. Some of us were not even fully aware of that event, because we were real young. You are to renounce that event that you thought as a child. And Ask God for forgiveness. And nail it to the Cross, ask God to help you. Get Christian help. read the bible. Know that you have created strongholds in your mind and it may take some time for them to cease, but hold on and dont give up. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
God has a plan for you, a plan to prosper, a plan you have no idea... but it will fill you overflowing beyond your sexual desires, just read his WORD and love his WORD and you will by his WILL be........ what you were made /complete in him
Thanks for posting your testimony, I have much respect for you. I would like to encourage you with a bible verse,
Romans 6:6 'For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin - because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.'
That's right buddy, if you are in Christ then you are free! You need not be enslaved by your feelings and think you will be alone for life. If Jesus has saved you and given you the holy spirit to live in you then you can truly say to yourself "I'm not a slave to this, I'm free!"
I'll be praying for you.
Pls pray for my father, he is a severe alcoholic, he went for treatment but it went bad and started drinking more. My father was a really funny, cool guy before, now he lost his job and is separated from us. I truly wish he would be healed in Jesus name. Amen
Believing God for you and your family. God is a God of miracles. Listen to RW Schambach on RUclips for some powerful testimonies
I just did. God bless you and your family. Hope all is well.
Amen. Addiction is the most harmful way as its not there fault
God bless you. May Jesus enter your lives
No one is born gay we are born in sin thats why we have to be born again and depend in God to deliver us from this wicked sin
***** no we arent we all have a sinful nature because of the fall
Zacc how can you say they never experienced it when they did they had to crucify there flesh just like anyone else
jettythesunfish not fact it's truth
Dopest Flyest O.G. Pimp Hustla Gangsta Playa not stupid you just decieved
***** that's why you have to ask God for understanding
If a person says they were born this way . Just say you need to be born again . That's so true what they said :)
You are too stupid to breathe the same air as me.
He’s not talking literally . Flesh is born from flesh
Spirit is born from spirit .
You are to be born again with spirit
Trent Randell I love your comment Trent. that's an excellent way to look at it😀😀 Jesus Christ is the son of the living God.
Are you born to at seman andd poop?? Sick evil and demonic!!
@Trent your are absolutely correct those who aren't born again can not understand. Jesus said "you must be born again". Read John 3:5,6. We all must be born again to enter the kingdom of God. It is always each person's choice to enter the kingdom of God or not.
When I was an alcoholic, I could have said "it's genetic, I get a free pass!" But, I didn't. I accepted the fact that I was screwing up, and drowning in sin.
@Dan Kitteringham:
Homosexuality is everywhere in nature, just like the causes of alcoholism.
It exists naturally.
It occurs naturally in every aspect of plant, animal, and human existence.
YOU CAN NOT GET RID OF IT!
Sugar is the cause of alcoholism.
It's everywhere in nature.
Life thrives on it.
There can be no life on earth without it.
But it's highly addictive, especially if it is distilled.
Therefore, one must not abuse what occurs naturally, such as sugar and homosexuality, by abusing sugar, processed or distilled, through excessive consumption, or the gay lifestyle through whoremongering.
Homosexuality, like sugar, is a beautiful gift from God to humanity. But it cannot be abused as it was in the days of Jeremiah and Paul through male temple prostitution, or today through whoremongering.
It is the abuse of any gift that God has given us that is bad, and that is what God condemns.
@Dan Kitteringham:
Lol
What pain?
What sorrow?
You people are so trapped within delusion that you assume everyone is in the same predicament as you.
I meant every word I said, and every word of it is truth.
Homosexuality is not a sin.
And yes, I am a Christian.
@Dan Kitteringham:
And what I meant by "...you're still an alcoholic" was that you never stop being an alcoholic, just like a drug addict never stops being an addict.
You can never drink or use casually again.
Never.
You know this.
Tim W 1 Corinthians 6:9~ “Don’t you realize that those who do wrong will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality, will inherit the kingdom of God.”
⬆️ sooo you’re telling me that God was lying when He told us this? ... God never changes! So it is not a gift from God, satan gives people the urge to practice homosexuality and some give into the urge, to that temptation. But God says that we are stronger than that and we can resist! (1 Corinthians 10:13; Psalm 46:1 ; Philippians 4:13 ). Don’t try to twist up God’s word. God knows what He is doing and what He said! We need to be reborn again to enter the kingdom of God! And homosexuals are not reborn again if they are still homosexuals. They must be strong and resist the temptation! They must endure til the end like all of us to enter God’s kingdom🙏🏽.
@Gander Stein Very good point I will use it in the future when ppl will say born this way. Thank you brother. May the Lord bless you and keep you. Praise the Lord for His marvelous working power.
it's not about religion it's about a relationship with Jesus Christ. Jesus Is real He does exist. So all those who don't believe it's just temporary because We All Will meet Our maker. Every eye will see and every tongue Will confess Jesus Is Lord. Jesus said you deny Him He will deny you.
Seems like your God is pretty arrogant. I wouldn't want to spend eternity with a God who is this perversely interested in my mere human acceptance of his existence in a cruel world in which he didn't even make himself obvious for everyone.
Honestly I don't think you can call a God who "rewards" the repentant, christian serial killer but "punishes" the innocent child (from a culture that can't possibly lead to it becoming a christian) who dies of bone cancer at the age of 6 after 2 years of agony with eternal torture (which completely eliminates the purpose of punishment: to improve) just or loving.
If God really existed, wanted us to obey his law and loved us he would have made everyone believe he is real so no one has to suffer.
The idea of how he seems to be playing with humanity as if his creation (which is full of unstoppes terror, pain, suffering and hate) was an experiment (for which he has no reason to execute as he would already know the outcome) is just disgusting.
No child deserves such concept of God to be planted into its mind.
Believe it if you want to, I respect you for trying to do what you believe is saving people from going to hell.
Yet remember you have no point, all you have is a belief which hundreds of other religions equally have as well.
Putting your belief higher than any persons free will, especially a vulnerable child's one is just wrong as long as you don't have any true evidence, as you as a Christian are spreading a message intolerance of so called sin which some of people have no reason to be ashamed of.
Seriously, do you even consider once why the hell God cares if we eat shellfish, what we do with our hair or what we do with our genitalia?
+Dakotah O'Brien Please explain to me how gay sex causes desease, where have you learnt that? So basically by that logic it would also cause desease if a man would donate blood to another man?
You can't be serious thinking gay sex CAUSES disease (not just transmits).
Please. Use your basic biologic knowledge if there is any.
Man your understanding of gay sex is shocking.
Reason your point and argue against my blooddonation example.
Why should even the most discerning homosexual know he is doing the objective wrong thing (not just the "sin" that is unsubstantiatedly defined by the bible)?
Yes, you are right that even if a person is gay they have the ability to actually not have sex (choosing not to sin in that sense), unfortunately Jesus also said that you are already sinning if you look at a non-wife woman with lust. Similarly, the gay man is already sinning if he does something he can do nothing about. And for that he is supposed to repent, now that is f***** up. Your argument is invalid.
Your god has a choice not to send innocents to hell for eternal punishment (which is still messed up, please make a statement on this).
But apparently he is not that just but extremely arrogant, as some of his highest demands from us mere humans are to accept his existence (which we rationally have no reason for), to worship him and to repent for breaking a law he has created without substation.
Don't tell me that sending an innocent early dying child that has happened to have been born in the wrong culture to eternal pubishment is what a God of Justice would do.
And please tell me how gay sex causes disease.
+Dakotah O'Brien Yes and Mohammed claimed that only he has heard the absolute true word of god, so what makes Jesus's statement more credible? You are falling into circular reasoning here: "x is true because Jesus said so and Jesus is right because the bible sais so."
Start arguing with the scientific method if you want to make any sense.
You didn't even have to quote the bible to state that other religions are wrong if christianity is right, because they contradict.
The question is why is christianity right, and reasoning that with base of Christianity, the belief in the truth of the bible is just closeminded.
Yes I understand that people are seen as blessed that throw all their trust onto the bible in Christianity. Still it is morally questionable why the christian God requires this from us, why couldn't he just reveal his existence and his law to everyone, not just showing himself but simply making people believe in him, so even the little sick girl has the ability to avoid eternal hellfire.
That would be a bit more fair, but no, he has to send the girl, Gandhi and every other innocent agnostic to hell.
+Dakotah O'Brien How does looking at nature prove your God's substance? After all the same logical fallacy can be applied to Allah: "I feel like all this must have been created by someone because it seems so amazing and beautiful, and because my holy Quran sais it was Allah therefore it must be true."
Realizing that the body contains water doesn't get you any further.
you see the problem here?
You know what would have really made the bible at least a bit more believiable? Maybe some extraordinary knowledge like germ theory (hygiene), or an explanation of why basically everything we perceive regarding the origin of our planet points into a different direction than creation.
And even if there was a creation,
what makes your religion's unjustified answers more viable?
And again answer me please about the gay sex causing disease issue, I want to understand how you came up with that.
Also please attempt to resolve the moral dilemma of the sick child described in previous replies: How can you call such a God good, just and righteous?
What are your views on the purpose of eternal punishment?
Do you agree that he is arrogant, argue why.
When I answer your replies I always go through each sentence to answer everything you ask, it would be nice if you could do the same in return, thanks!
+Gero Sundermeyer To add:
When I said that extraordinary knowledge would have made the bible a bit more believable I didn't say why, just to clarify:
The Bible is obviously written accordingly to its time, and because many Non-christians doubt that it is the word of god (but a book with completely man made content) it would have really given the bible something remarkably supernatural if it had something in it that made it seem like I couldn't just have been created by people of that time.
What we have is a book with some contradictions and errors, although admittedly rather consistent in its 40 ("sub"-) books.
It's so good to have people telling the truth and as Jesus said, "Those who belong to the truth will hear His voice".
Zacc you can open your eyes or deceive yourself in the sin and stay in the dark.
This is absurd to even think you're born gay. It's like asking are babies born adulterers?
God didn’t make mistakes...man’s minds and perversion did.

Brother I love you. However, it seems like you have itching ears to hear what you want to hear. I was the same way with marijuana and masturbation. Please man, don’t be deceived, your life will be so much more peaceful when you starve the flesh. You’ve got this through God. Love you.
Steve Roberts oh so sorry you feel that way. Our Father calls it an abomination in Old Testament. Then go to Romans 1 in New Testament and read. This isn’t my feelings. It is our Fathers feelings. Doesn’t matter what man wrote what book...read what I’m telling you for your sake.

@@stephenstrange7491 yes it is. Its adultery within the heart.
My name is Tracie 🙏 I have a gay sister..Now I have the proper tools to talk with her.. Thank you so much 💕 God bless you all . Thank you Jesus 💕
What happened
Show her Ray’s movie named ‘Audacity’. It’s on RUclips.
Deseo Synergy She’s not judging; she’s only the messenger telling her that we have God’s Word that says HE will judge all without the miracle of the new birth that gives a new heart w/ new desires. THAT’S real love. John 3:3- Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” Read it all for yourself. Start w/ the book of John.
Deseo Synergy God does not condone this behavior. He tells us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44) And TRUE Christians wouldn’t do those things, True Christians are Christ-like... and Christ (if you know his character) would neverrr do those things to the lgbtq community or to ANYONE for he is the same yesterday, today and forever (KJV; Hebrews 13:8). So do not let people tear you away from eternal life and a relationship with God because they are being horrible examples of Christians. God hates when people hate others! We are suppose to LOVE! So We do not hate them, We love them soooo much that we want them to live a TRUE GREAT LIFE with their savior Jesus Christ HERE and have ETERNAL LIFE when they pass away. HOW MUCH MORE LOVING CAN WE BE? I love you so much that i want to see you go to heaven. And I am so sorry that you had a bad experience with Christianity or a bad view on it because of FAKE Christians. I, a true Christian, am telling you that we love everyone and want what is truly the best for them. We get persecuted more than ever (Mathew 5:11) but we continue to endure because we love God so much and we love people too. God bless you 🙏🏽❤️.
So if you want to make your first step to Christ all you have to do is repent, turn away from your sins and turn to Christ, and I promise you that it will be the BEST decision you will ever make in your life. You will experience TRUE PEACE, TRUE JOY, AND TRUE LIFE! That void you feel time to time or maybe all the time WILL BE FILLED! So do it NOW before it is too late! Salvation doesn’t seem like a gift until it is taken away from you... it doesn’t seem like a gift until God casts you into hell for eternity and you understand what it feels like,, how horrible it is.
I will pray for you. God bless 🙏🏽❤️.
@Deseo Synergy you broke commandments in your comment... one who knows God and turns from Him bible says its better to of never been born for the fate you will suffer..

No one is born gay. Genesis 1:27- So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Psalm 51:5 Says we are all born in sin, so we are all born with the susceptibility to various sins. God created man and women in his own image, but sin has corrupted our bloodline and now we all need the mercy of God through his payment of our fines (Jesus' sacrifice) to gain eternal life.
Showing God is not only male but female too!

@Richard Fox everyone's sin is part of them because sin has now corrupted humans since Satan tricked Adam and Eve. Humans were made perfect (in God's image), but now we are corrupt. So we can only repent and trust Jesus for our salvation. We repent to make sure we're not calling Satan, jesus. We trust Jesus to receive his gift coz for whatever reason some people don't want to go to heaven, so he gives us a choice.

How can someone say that they knew they were gay from a prepubescent age, like 5 or 6? NOBODY at that age is thinking about sex or who they're attracted to unless an adult is putting those ideas in their head.
Please pray for my deliverance from multiple sins...

Are people born gay? Answer: No.

Sexuality develops over time through a chain of natural and unnatural events and experiences. Unfortunately our world has become very unnatural.
Only through Christ can we overcome our sin against what is good and natural.

Yes people are born gay, people don't just say "I'm going to be attracted too the same sex because it's the trend at the moment"
Matt Bird, no gene has been found yet, despite what you have heard or read. That homosexuality is a learned behavior can be seen in nature and in all the cultures around the world. It is a Self-Evident Truth. Two same sex couples can never become one flesh. There is a way out if you want it, and it is not through therapy. I have a grandson that married another man last month. It is very sad. I personally know what took place in my grandson's life, like you believes he was born gay. He was not his parents failed him in various forms. He has attempted suicide 3 times, he doe not know that I know. One of his several partners once countered my grandson when he said homosexuals are born gay, his friend responded to him, "No, it is learned behavior." My grandson was 21 at that time and new to the gay scene, his friend and mate was 43, almost as old as his mother by a couple of years. (my daughter) My grandson faces an insurmountable challenge as both his divorced parents approve and encourage him, as well as his step-father. God bless, praying you can find your way in life.
mawgwat rodarte there was a study about this, ofc it is part learned behavior as well but there is a gene that increases the likelihood of one being born gay. while this does not make much sense in evolutionary terms, the other side of the coin is that females with that same gene are more likely to give birth to bigger amount of babies.
in short it makes one more attracted to men, in both men and women.
yunthi
so
How is it sad, your grandson has found someone he loves. If he and his partner feel that way about each other and want to share their lives together why should this be sad. I'm so sick of people trying to change others sexuality, leave them be. I know this through several of my friends and family members who are gay and have come out about it.
^ good point.
Amazed. My BEARDED DRAGON, who cannot sit still for more than 20 seconds, watched 3 of your videos IN A ROW!!! What is happening?!?!?
Yo this goes out to all the atheists why do you need to comment on matters of God if there is no God by your standards. What is hurting you so much that you must say your points I'm just wanting to reason...because you hate me because of him but I love you because of him... If any of you would like to go deeper I would love to talk with you personally over the phone or in an email and we could just dialogue I'm not going to try to win an argument I just want a reason!
Agnostic are welcome to
Generally it is because religious beliefs are dogmatic by nature and heavily encourage subservience and obedience. Should someone question those established beliefs they are often berated, ostracized, or in some areas of the world, brutalized or killed. Naturally believers are typically the ones to initiate the negative responses from non-believers and especially in the more evangelical west, the notion of secularism is a fault that needs correction. It is this arrogance and imposition that perpetuates an intense divide between stances. Atheists are a minority group, and by virtue of that recieve FAR more scrutiny than any believer ever concievable could. Atheists, much like gay people, if simply left to their own devices, would have functioned just fine, especially in this increasingly secularized world driven by information and diversity.
However, recounting the dogmatic nature of religion, those who are "different" are often prime targets for ignorant remarks born of those very beliefs. As a result you either fight fervently for your ability to think and exist freely as a human being( hence youtube comments and arguments), or you submit to the paradigm of stifled thinking and acceptance built upon a foundation of faith and no evidence.
You have to know what your doing wrong in order to correct it. Without rules there is no order. what's so bad about believing and doing the right thing? God even awards you for doing the right thing. The Bible has a lot of science all of which is correct, it is historic which has been proven countless times. But people choose to dismiss the content for no good reason, just excuses. We all know the truth but we choose to convince ourselves otherwise
Many have been hurt by the church imho
My thoughts exactly! And I would also add something that boggles my mind about atheists who comment saying Christians are stupid and irrational etc....but literally one of the most irrational things an atheist could go is waste the precious little time they have on this earth commenting. Take that minute and go out and enjoy your life and experiences because once you die that's it, back to blackness, nothingness! So what a royal waste of time and completely irrational act. What are you doing!? So get out there and expirience your life while you can and stop wasting it in pointless arguments (because theres literally no point to anything lol) because according to their belief that's it!
It's crazy to me lol
Love that last bit about forgiveness-powerful! I walked away from homosexuality in 2007-I was scared to death to loose my “identity”, but God had so much more for me! Never doubt the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep praying for the lost. They will see when it is REVEALED to them. Be encouraged, family 🙏🏻
I wish more people in the ex-gay movement would speak up. Some people say the news media doesn't want to cover it.
There are many Christians who are good people. The ones the people with rude comments are blasting are the loudest ones. Please dont listen to them and think that they represent all Christians. I am a Christian but i love gays as much as i do heterosexuals. I hate what many of them do and i do not support it but i do not hate the people. Many Christians (myself included) want to reach out to them because we care about everyone and want whats best for everyone. Whether anyone chooses to accept it or not is up to them, but i will continue to reach out.
How call yourself a Christian when you agree with wap hat the gas do? I don't discriminate against them but what they are doing is wrong.

@@trevorgarcia6612 You're welcome! Hey, if you are watching this because you were raised Christian and are gay, if it would be helpful to you, I could steer you to the sources that show that the Bible is, in large part, made up by men. I was a devout Bible-believing Christian for 20 years+.
Just let me know. It is a historical fact that Jesus DID live and teach and was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and people do meet him in the afterlife in the Near Death Experiences, but he didn't actually start the new guilt and grace-based religion that Paul started.
The book of John completely disagrees with everything that Jesus says about himself in the four gospels that were written decades before John.
And if you aren't gay, I'm sure you know Jesus said that we have no right to judge anyone. ;)
@@trevorgarcia6612 And the Shroud of Turin appears to prove that God exists because it contains so much data that only a subatomic laser could have put the holographic data onto the shroud.

You love darkness. If you don’t repent and turn away from it, you will die to your sin. There is no formula for quitting your sin other than a desire to seek Jesus and everything with Christ. Period.
im a ex gay, people can be born with homosexuals thoughts and desires or it can happen later in life but they can choose by knowing the its in fact not them. Not everything you feel and think comes from you
If i dont meet your standards of having been gay, i have my friend rozzy who was lesbian for 30 something years. The same thing happened to her like me and ive been taking at least 20 other people out the same way. Homosexuality is not dependent on the person its a spirit a second person living its life through a person by making them think its really them. If you think its schizophrenic then you have people who are suicidal, cutters, homosexual, drug addicts, and others under that label. Ive had people put down the razor blade after the spirit has gone feeling joy they never knew. What do you have to offer, i say this in love
I hope you are straight because you are physically aroused by women because if men is your thing bro, just go for it! In today's society its actually the homophobic crazys who are on the fringes of society! NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING GAY!

That is decent of you. Thank you.
Lol an "ex gay"? Like Ted Haggard? Did you pay away the gay? What kind of good are toy devoting your life to that wouldn't even accept you for whip you are? There is no "ex gay" you will continue to have attraction and u urges toward the same sex

Christianity is a choice homosexuality isn't. End of discussion
Demons can really change someones sexuality.
I think they got a spirit of lust and the enemies are clever because the angels drop out of heaven because we all loved things that are sin but when Jesus saved you you can give it up with joy i know because i was on heroin
The reason Christians have such a hard time accepting the fact that gay people ARE born that way is that they would also then have to accept that their God made them that way. And if God made them that way, why does he condemn them?
The reason we do not embrace homosexual behavior is BECAUSE God calls it an abomination. If he did not care there would not be an issue. I used to say to each his own until God showed me it is not right.
Bonnie Sanders God showed you? You might want to get some help.
Of course people are born gay (or straight). Sexual orientation is set in the womb and is congenital, innate, inborn, and unchangeable. To say people aren't born gay is no different that shouting out "I'm an idiot!".
Jay Roc When did you choose to be straight? Just like you say they choose to be gay.
Martin Krøyer my argument was not to indicate that because something is natural means that it is good or better. Good or better is determined by the person doing an action who may ignore what other person set as a good or better standard. My argument was to discern what is natural and unnatural because same gender sexual behaviour is suggested to be natural by design which is not the case. The trick is to have everybody think it is natural regardless of being good or better. People should not be fooled.
The concept of desire equated to the roman type love based on lust may take over the mind and fuel a passion that are considered strange by some people even though considered good and normal in the minds of the passionate person.
OpenAirOutreach choosing not to act on homosexual feelings doesn't mean they're not gay or lesbian anymore. you saying that they may still have those temptations clearly lets you know they are still homosexuals. if they were ex-homosexuals then they wouldn't even have those temptations whatsoever. choosing not to act on a same sex attraction doesn't mean you're no longer homosexual. i'm hispanic, if i choose not to act "hispanic" it still doesn't make me not hispanic. no matter how i act i can't ever stop being hispanic, it's who i am. it's just logic and reason.
Under your logic an adulterer who chooses to stay with their spouse in spite of attraction to other women is not being true to their adulterous self. Or a person in the situation or incest or bestiality or pedophilia or even fornication who choose not to act on his desire is not being true to themselves. And your partially right. They are not be true to their sinful human nature. But if they know Christ they are now being true to their new nature in Christ.
If your boss tells you not to do something that's a pretty basic rule otherwise you lose your job, don't do it. Simple as that.
It's the same way with God. Don't ask "how is this wrong?" I'm pretty sure if he created the entire universe and gave you life, you have no right to say what is right and wrong. Whatever he says is right and wrong, is the ground rule for what is right or wrong.
If I was born a murderer, should I give into the temptation to kill people? No, of course not, that's ridiculous. Homosexuality can be seen in the same light. Just because you have the temptation to have sexual relations with the same sex doesn't mean you should.
The city of Sodom was burned to the ground with holy fire because of sexual immorality. It's stated in Leviticus that a man shall not lay with man nor beast as he lays with woman, for it is an abomination before God.
I really don't know how it can be simplified any more about how homosexuality is morally wrong in the eyes of God. He says it is wrong, therefore it is wrong.
You do know that it was written in the Old Testament, originally meant for the Jews who were the chosen people of God when the law was completely different in it's time, right? Even the new testament wouldn't be for the gentiles until the apostle Paul was sent to preach to them.
Oh, that's right, actually learning the christian religion would be ludicrous. It's much better to just look up random things and spew nonsense.
I don't believe it said anywhere that it was abolished, mm? I didn't see anywhere in the new testament where it said man and man, or woman and woman to be married.
If I read correctly it always said man and woman. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. Since never did it ever say same sex marriage was alright. Besides...if God destroyed entire city's over homosexuality, I doubt he just decided "eh, it's fine now."
Since a sin will always remain a sin. Never has something been revoked as no longer being evil...one being homosexuality.
This is the worse debate on the subject. You are bringing in ZERO evidence to support your claim. The bible is not evidence in any way.
Mark Spence: Welcome to On The Box . I’m Mark Spence alongside the infamous Ray Comfort.
Ray Comfort: No no, that’s not a good adjective.
Mark Spence: The…….no.

Mark Spence: The humble....
Ray Comfort: Yeah, you know what that means? Like Al Capone.
Mark Spence: It means you’re famous.
Ray Comfort: Al Capone was infamous. It means you’re a bad guy.
Mark Spence: Criminal.
Ray, you're a lot of things, but humble ain't one of them.
***** Don't worry folks. His claim to be humble was so patently absurd, that I understood it to be an ironic joke :)
I wasn't laughing at this exchange though...
Mark Spence: You know there’s a very common maxim-like saying out there that says we are to love the sinner, but we are to hate the sin. What do you think of those thoughts?
Ray Comfort: I don’t think the two can be divorced from each other
I think you'll agree that it sounds very much like Ray, and his god, hate gay people. It's just a sugarcoated version of the WBC claims. Absolutely shameful that people would behave like this, and worse still, think they are 'holy', 'righteous' and 'sanctified' in doing so. I guess that ties in well with the ironic joke you made about humbleness early on in the film.
Do you care that gay people are four times more likely to commit suicide than heterosexuals...primarily down to the very high levels of homophobic bullying, and sanctimonious religious profiteers decreeing that they are 'sick', 'sinful', and 'handicapped' (that was a Mark Spence comment - absolutely vile)? I guess the situation in the US is better than that in Uganda though because courtesy of religious zealots like Ray, until recently, the Christian government decreed that homosexuality was punishable by death (www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/how-uganda-was-seduced-by-antigay-conservative-evangelicals-9193593.html). The team at Living Waters are contributing to making the worse a more dangerous, hateful place. All you have to do to see that this is true, is read Ray's FB page. It's shameful what you do in the name of your god.
If criticising hateful and hypocritical beliefs is 'arrogant', I'm ok with that. Have a lovely day.
you need to be more respectful
+John Gulledge Why on Earth would you respect hate, ignorance, arrogance and bigotry, let alone suggest I do?
+joeforHistruth What 'truth'? I always hear religious folk speak in knowing terms about 'truth', all claiming to have a monopoly on it, but when you ask them to define it, you get blown off with a cryptic answer that is completely subjective to the person issuing it, and is as malleable as necessary to ensure it cannot be held as a standard. For me, 'truth' is that which can be verified with facts or accords with reality. For you, 'truth' is apparently your particular interpretation of a particular holy book full of magical claims...but if I ask a direct question that could empirically be used as a standard, such as 'is a bat a bird, like your holy book says?', you will dodge it and use special pleading to avoid the fact your 'truth' means nothing. Objective truths, such as 2+2=4 are just as true and verifiable in America as they are in India, Europe, or Antartica.
'Truths' that are subjective, changeable, undefinable, unfalsifiable, improbable and irrational, aren't 'truths'. They're superstitious nonsense, and people who tout their religious 'truths' as fact, are arrogant and deluded. As Gide said...
“Trust those who seek the truth but doubt those who say they have found it.”
This is offensive on so many levels.
It's quite simple to accept one might say: "I was born this way (gay/homosexual et cetera)" The person claiming this can be entirely correct, they just need to see that they can be born again and repent...
Do people choose to be gay? NO! Does Ray Comfort choose to be ignorant? YES! Ray.......read a science book or two already!
Norman Bates Good name norm! but your "facts" are way off as to the people who wrote the Bible...that type of information is hidden away in something called books...you should try one sometime!

We may not be the first country to have pushed in favor of gay marriage, but hopefully the rest of the world will learn from our example and move to a better future for our kids! I didn't choose to be heterosexual, and homosexuals didn't choose their sexuality either!
+MrBradFu Do you have the choice to stay straight? Does an asexual have the choice to stay sexually unmotivated by neither gender? I'm working on my BA in psychology and I can tell you there are no credible peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate what you say.
+MrBradFu So if you have a choice to stay straight then that means you could choose to be gay. I can tell you, I can't choose to turn myself gay, and I didn't choose to be straight. You must be a closet bisexual, if you can choose to swing one way or another.
And the "scientists" that disagree with me have no peer reviewed scientific journals to present.
Sex is great, why is religion so against it and why are they shaming people who have premarital sex?
This is a wonderful program! God Bless.
I do have to say... Everything y'all said about the boxing gloves coming out it true.... My daughter took me out of her life after confronting her with tears. She was angry! I finally had to deal with her "choices"... Just to be back in her life! I am praying for her to get out of that sin. She threw my own sin into my face... So I'm stuck on what to do... So I just pray for conviction!!!! I love her so much.... Thank you again.
God Bless Y'all!!!!!!
Well, let me tell you something. My daughter was 16 and beginning to wonder if she was homosexual. She is a Christian. I had nothing to do with this, either. It was all God. I am a Christian, too, and was distressed as a Mom over this. I prayed and low and behold a friend of hers was talking to a friend of his and he was describing his perfect girl to my daughter's friend. Her friend said, 'That sounds exactly like Robin'. He introduced the two of them and they fell in love just like that. They are married now and he is a Christian, too. They are deeply in love and only 20 and 22 years old. Oh, the power of the Holy Spirit. God would not allow her to go the wrong direction and He stepped in and had her meet her husband in perfect timing. It could not have been more perfectly done. Praise God!
Remember everyone, these are also the same people who thought Josh Duggard was such a swell guy.
If you struggle with the lies say this: I confess I am not a homosexual. I am a straight man. I love women and I reject any and all forms of homsoexuality. Devil leave me right now in Jesus name. If you struggle with those lies confess this.
i said that and im still bi
the only thing that happened was a lot of cringe
Go through the whole first chapter of Romans. It explains the modern day.
I'm personally agnostic, but i dont see why you have such a problem with people being gay. If you dont think being gay is moral then dont do it! Just live and let live and let other people do what they way. Thats just how i feel.
bobby boy It's not wrong because we have a problem with it. It's wrong because our Creator says it is wrong and to stand by and say nothing is like standing by as a child is playing in the street and saying, "I would never stand in the street but that child is having so much fun and it's none of my business to tell them what to do." Obviously the kind act is to warn the child and so it is with homosexuality. We are warning gays (and straight) that God has appointed a Day in which He will judge the world in righteousness. Liars, thieves, murderers, rapists, adulterers, fornicators, homosexuals are all in danger of God's wrath, which is why we need Jesus. Jesus suffered for our sinners on the Cross and rose again defeating death. He took the punishment for ours sins. If we repent and put their trust in Jesus, God can forgive the debt.
***** Why would you assume Christians would "strictly adhere" to these laws? You are quoting from ancient Israeli civil law (where you also find commands for clothing and dietary restrictions) which was written for Israel specifically and for that nation ONLY. It expired with the demise of the Jewish civil government 2,000 years ago, so it is ignorant for you to try and attribute those laws to any other society.
***** If God wants us to not be gay, even though all homosexuals are born gay, why would he punish people who didn't choose to be who they are.
P.S. People do not choose to be gay, and if you say different, then when did you choose to be straight?
***** I have no problem with christians thinking being gay is wrong as long as they don't make 1.make laws about it 2.Hurt LGBT individuals physically or emotionally. I respect your right to disagree.
bobby boy I am a Christian, I agree with you. We don't believe for many reasons that homosexuality is ok, but our God does not give us permission to force anyone or hurt anyone into our beliefs.
All we can do is share our views with grace and love and show you God's love. For this is a very important matter of life in death, and Jesus Christ wants us all to live, but He will not force us.
But we have a problem, the LGBT community is forcing us to do things against our beliefs. We cannot make you anything "Gay wedding related", but we can serve you food and provide you with medicine. To make you a gay wedding cake, it is to go against scripture and say go ahead.
Another way to see this is, it is like making a Muslim cook you pork.
A Hindu cook you beef, making peta member kill you an animal. Asking a black tailor to make you a KKK uniform.
I honestly love the gay people, even though I disagree with their actions.
Jesus Christ Bless you and may you read his message to you, it is way different than what you see on T.V. Jesus Christ means good for us.
People aren't born gay, just as we aren't born saved. We're born into sin, and the wages of sin is death.
Jesus tells us in the gospel that few will find the strait gate and narrow way and many would follow the broadway. In other words, most would not go through the narrow gate. He also said many would say Lord I did this and that in your name and He will say depart I never knew you. Make sure you know him not just know about him.
wow, God's law doesn't change
Zeus was the fallen angel Lucifer I am betting :)
Neither does Godwin's
Nazis
Gail Newton so you acknowledge that the book and ideals that you hold so dear where rendered based on religions much older than yours and reinterpreted in order to make your religionous beliefs at the forefront
I'd like to clarify that homosexualism is not a sin, but practising it is.
All Glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that died for us on the cross for our sins and rose from the dead 3 days later and All Glory to Yahweh Amen
Oh, I agree with this! 6:00 I was saved 3 times before I was saved. 4th time is the charm! My heart wasn't in it the first 3 times because I didn't understand my need for God. Since then, He's the best thing that has ever happened to me! :D
Kelly James I’m glad! how are you doing now?
@@sophiem3794 w
You are only saved once. Not four times. I think I know what you are expressing; however, to someone who doesn't understand the things of God, the phrasing you have used could be confused with meaning other things.
What you meant was you thought that you were saved previously; however, you were wrong the time, and then was later saved.
To those of you who think that being a homosexual comes by choice… tell me when exactly you chose to engage in heterosexual activity?
Are you aware that homosexuality exists in the natural world? Humans are not the only organisms who exhibit that behavior.
Why is homosexuality wrong? In all honesty, one reason that doesn't involve religion. Homosexuality isn't even in the ten commandments.
I know of two siblings that are the youngest of 10 siblings. The mother had them when she was in her 40s. Both of them turn out to be homosexuals when they grew up. One female, and one male. The older siblings and the parents could tell the male was different since he was little because he enjoyed going to the beauty salon and being among the women getting their hairs done. The female has admitted to knowing she was different from her friends since she could remember because she was attracted to her friends, not boys.
Neither of these siblings were raised differently from the oldest. The entire family is religious. The oldest children all are heterosexuals.
I say, there is something there to that claim of being “born gay”. I do understand some might use it as a free pass thinking that makes them free of sin. However, to deny biology is not wise. We use biology for the gender, and abortion arguments against unbelievers and it works all the time. Because nothing that God has made can ever overwrite Gods will. Being that the case, I say like some children are born autistic, some are born gay. Not saying is okay to be gay if you are born that way. I’m just saying it could be something went wrong in the making. Just like something goes wrong when kids has defects at birth and such things.
Also, psychopaths have been proven to be born psychopaths. Isn’t that also a sin? Yet they can be born that way. It doesn’t make it less sinful. But it is something to think about.
If you don't have any experience being homosexual, you have no right to say, "They were born to sin just like fornicators and adultors." Seriously? You aren't born a fornicator nor an adultor. I think you need to have a homosexual on this show to be able to talk about it at all. Oh, and according to Leviticus men with facial hair won't inherit the Kingdom of God.
i just posted 180 on fb, sitting here waiting for the fall out! lol

Ray posted 10yrs ago and still so relevant today.... living waters/living WORD..... if only ALL would open their eyes of their souls to the living WORD !!! well done Brothers... all for the truth of life and to his Glory....... The Bible is the truth despite what we all think...truth is truth !!!
The purpose of sex is to procreate. That is its purpose. Like with eating, the purpose of eating is to process food for the body. We enjoy it, but even that must have the proper balance. People can form taste for things that are not considered foods. ex: There are cases where some people form taste for cigarette ash, wax, and other odd choices. They can't live off of these choices because their bodies can't process it. They simply enjoy the taste, but can't benefit from it. Same with sexual appetite. The purpose of sex is procreation. We can't have sex with whatever simply because we enjoy sex, or because there are not enough of the opposite sex around or we think it would feel good with something else. You must have parameters that works in accord with the body. The male body cannot even process semen on any level. Nor was the organs in question made for penetration. If that was the case, the anus would basically be a vagina. The vagina is designed perfectly without question and can process semen on every level. In homosexuality semen is a waste and the act itself is very dangerous.

Nothing wrong with being homosexual.
My Mum's non Christian take on it.
One + One = Zero. No potential for life at all. A desire against the science of our natural bodies & humanity..
Most of us don't realise either.....
All sexual acts which are outside of a heterosexual marriage union are based in false worship practices. That is why Bible teaching is very plain about it. These activities are from fertility rites to idols.
One false God was called Ba'al PEOR. False god of the openings, mouth.....so any orifice is acceptable for use for orgasm.
Another was about worshipping excrement, flies & dead things... ba'al zebub
Moderns haven't a clue they are playing into Satan's kingdom.
Just because people don't understand the spiritual reality & the image humans were made in by the Creator they want to ignore, doesn't mean it is OK.
Satan uses the strong sex drive & perverts our desires to teach humans to defile their physical & spiritual image that God gave us.
So on that level it isn't OK & prevents us receiving blessings now & after death.
I am glad Yeshua saved me out of my sexual sin & gave me a new life.
Bless you.
So many people say"Two guys being in a relationship doesn't hurt anyone. What is morally wrong about it if no one is hurt?" Well you can say the same thing about an adult mother and an adult son, who use contraception, engage in physical acts. Would you say that incest is morally correct? You know that it is wrong because God stated that both are immoral. If you support one by consent you support the other.
***** What makes zero sense? Two guys doing it lmbo... yeah that doesn't make any sense haha...
***** If they are both of age and both consent in each example, who is to say that it's wrong? I say that morality was given by God not man. You inherently believe that incest between 2 people of age who consent to sexual acts in the privacy of their bedroom is wrong, how is that different from two men? The same points can be made for both.
Wade b.r. incest breeds future generations of genetic disorders. that's how it's wrong
***** So now you believe incest is morally sound? Instead of understanding that it is as wrong as homosexuality.
Wade b.r. simply put, there's no evidence as of yet that incest isn't a choice. however, theres mountains of evidence suggesting that homosexuality is not a choice
friends, let's just say for the sake of argument that there is a God, and that he is ruler and creator of all things in existence. And since he is the one in control of his creation, he made some rules, an order of processes and functions and roles that decide how said creation works! Now let's say, just like a computer hacker, one of his rebellious rogue creations goes into that creation and lays a seed/virus that mucks things up, sets into motion a self district sequence that begins to through creation into disorder.
Now let's fast forward to now, things have progressed and that virus, I.e. sin , has caused all of humanity to begin to stay from creations order and are now experiencing processes that weren't originally planned, things are becoming natural that used to be perversions of nature. It it's now natural for human beings to be and do lots of things that weren't in the original plan! So that is where Jesus Christ and the cross come in, the cross was designed as an anti virus, a war to help people born into a sinful world with sinful desires and sinful tendencies, to a place where the the spirit of God can take them and make them into what he had intended all along, his living children! And the only reason we fight back against this is because, A; many people misunderstand a imperfect translated bible, and B; people want to be able to remain "the way they were born", that's is to be able to live their lives as sinful beings and not be convicted! The whole world is broken and tainted, not just people. I was born with the tendencies to become addicted to anything that I liked, like food, video games, porn and many other things, that doesn't means I should allow myself to become and addict, God wants all people to know he doesn't look at men's actions, he didn't see their appearance, he looks at peoples hearts, which means looks at our thoughts and our desires,and wether out not we are actively living those out, or if we struggling to follow his plans, and if sin is found and we do not repent before out death, than we will be cat into he'll fire eternity, which is against his will, we were created to bee his companions, to lovingly worship him as the creator of all things! If we could just real our heads around that,and accept that we aren't the most important thing around that we weren't made so that we could be served, but so that we could serve GOD! If we could get this and accept it we would all find happiness! Being born a certain way didn't mean that way is good or right, so instead of arguing on semantics we should get to the heart of it! Accept Christ as your savior and make him Lord of your life, pressing fervently that he would help you live as he had planned from the beginning, as child of living God!
Be blessed friends, to those who are still lost and to those who have accepted the Lord's salvation!
Nice analogy
Amen
homosexuality on the same level of adultery??!?!!!?!
doesn't make sense.
Don't love them to Hell.
God calls us to be Salt & Light.
Do lot's of research in Gods word and then you will be equipped to go to them IN LOVE & share what you have learned. If they reject YOU remember they aren't rejecting you, they are rejecting Christ.
Be careful to not worry about rejection.
There was a time when many of my old friends rejected me for my beliefs. I didn't wear them on my are, but my life changed and they weren't comfortable around me. Eventually we parted ways...peacefully.
Yes the people who say we are born gay are Sinners
Very true. Just about every person I have spoken with who is bisexual, homosexual, or transgender have had some early sexual experience that led them away from heterosexuality. I have found that when molested by the same sex the people tend to lean more towards same-sex attraction. When raped at an older stage by an opposite sex person they go toward same-sex. The psychology behind it is very interested, but no one has been "born" gay from what I've seen.
Not e everybody who is same sex attracted was molested I think
that's a simplistic answer this is
of course a sin issue but most of
the guys I've known weren't always
that way because of abuse
Comparing being gay to paedophilia and beastiality and stating that homophobia is a sexual orientation, what kind of lunacy is this?
Mars Kedzior Sorry you feel that way, I can totally understand why someone would feel that way when presented with the garbage peddled here, but I'm a Christian who believes that God and the bible doesn't condemns someone's orientation but when read in it's proper historical context it's condemning behaviours such as gang rape, idolatry, lust and prostitution.
Mars Kedzior No I'm not gay, and I don't mind you asking.
Mars Kedzior It was something that bugged me when I became a Christian, it's plainly obvious that generally (not all) Christians have treated the LGBT community shamefully and very damaging to those affected. It also hurts the church who has generally become known more for what it's against rather than what it's for.
Once I began to devote some proper study to the clobber passages I began to see that it wasn't someone's orientation that was being condemned but behaviours, big difference.
Sadly I don't see a lot of Jesus in churches these days but plenty of Pharisee like do as I say not as I do types. But I always have hope that'll change, those in the church that are fully accepting is small and fledgling but it's growing.
I'm so sorry you've had to deal with that emotionally abusive garbage, it's totally unChristlike.
I'm an atheist who tries to watch these with an open mind, but I can't take you guys seriously on this point. I've known too many androgynous, fabulous guys who consistently tried to convince themselves they were straight to think that being gay is a choice. They CAN'T choose to be heterosexual any more than I could choose to be homosexual.
Exactly! And why would someone choose to be treated like a second class citizen by being homosexual. No one in their right mind would do that.
They can choose Talk to God and ask him from your heart for help. There are ex-homosexuals as well and ex-trangenders.
People who hit 'dislike' don't wanna hear the truth.
People who hit dislike want to believe that people are born gay though there is no evidence for the same. They are willing to ignore numerous testimonies of X gay people and pretend as if this is natural so that their sexual perversions can somehow find justification.

I’m gay
Hi UwU
Its not the way Jesus Christ is the way
Cool.
Same
@@seal9390 uh? Cool?
Very difficult issue, I pray for folks struggling with this battle. We’re all born with ‘sinful’ nature so in that sense, we’re all in the same boat.
Nothing is wrong with being gay at all.
Are people born gay? Yes, by and large. Next question.
@ lefay, if it's so prevalent at birth, as you say, then why can't science in all of it's infinite wisdom detect the gene? If it is as you say, then it must be in the DNA, but you accuse us of believing in a myth or imaginary being, yet it is you, yourself that refuses to accept not only the lack of proof through science, but also biblical truths. You must choose, for you can't serve two masters, for you will love one more than the other.

If one is born a thief it is still a sin to steal.

Amen! Praise God and Jesus Christ for such great role models as followers of Christ our Lord.
GOD BLESS YOU, WAY OF THE MASTER!!!
I just LOVE how you guys always tell the truth without compromise! :))
Why the hell would this guy even care? He thinks people are born in sin. Is it really that big a problem in his worldview to think that someone was born gay (which, in his view, is a sin)?
What a relief. When I first saw the title, I thought, "Oh no, here we go." I thought I was going to hear you say the things I hear a lot of Christians or maybe just conservatives say about this subject. I'm a born-again Christian, I love Jesus with all of my heart. But I'm gay. I can't help it. I don't sleep with men, I have nothing to do with that lifestyle anymore, God gave me a new heart. But I'm still attracted to men. I didn't ask for this. Absolutely, yes, we are born this way. So I was waiting to hear you say what I always hear... and that is that we gay people are "mentally ill." Thank you for never saying that! Most gays will never repent. But there's hope for some! Albeit a few. And for the ones who do turn away, I know for me at least, It's hard to feel like I fit in with this community (the Church). So I appreciate the empathy.How do you share the gospel with homosexuals? The same way you do with heterosexuals. And don't tell them they're going to hell because they're gay. Tell them they'll go to hell if they die in their sins, without the forgiveness of God we get through grace by faith in Jesus.
The temptation will always be there. An alcoholic doesn't just lose the desire to drink when they quit drinking. A drug addict doesn't just lose the want for the next hit.
God never promised an easy road but He did promise that He would abandon us to our on devices because if they were the case we would all be doomed.
I myself have problems with swearing and had a huge problem with alcohol. I have (with Gods grace) gotten my urge to drink under control. Now I just have to bridle my tongue.
Stay strong and read your bible.
God bless.
I think my biggest struggle is the idea that I will never be in a relationship - I obviously cannot. I cannot marry a woman because that would be a complete lie and it will make her miserable. And I obviously cannot follow my desires because that will lead to sin.
So the only alternative is never having a soul-mate. It feels like a curse which I will never be rid of.
This is why I get annoyed at many Christian brothers and sisters - not because I disagree with them but because they cannot begin to fathom the soulful agony a person like us feels when we realise we'll be alone and there will never be a wedding, or children, or a big family, or any of the wonderful things they take for granted.
One day our parents will pass away, our siblings (if we have them, which I don't) will move away and have their own families, and we will remain alone, living a life devoid of anyone to share moments with.
Even if you have friends, you'll always be second, third, fourth. Never the one; the most important person they can rely on.
And this is why anyone comparing it to alcoholism or any other addiction is way off the mark - those who suffer from such issues can still have all those wonderful things if they are attracted to women.
Our only single hope is that maybe... possibly... there's a slim chance that God has some sort of a bigger gift for us to make up for the loneliness of our existence.
Beltashazzar , i am sure God has a bigger gift for you somehow.
Ephesians 4: 24. "And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness."
God will give us a new heart and a desire for righteousness if we turn from our sins and follow him. We have been given a new identity in Christ, the old man is dead. Let us all allow God to shape us and mold us so we can all fulfill His perfect plan for us.
@@beltashazzar5277 Thanks for sharing..It is difficult being single I feel..I have been celibate for nearly 8 yrs. I'm a heterosexual Christian woman but it's really not easy to meet decent Christian men!
It can be tormenting at times. Hard to know whether one just has to accept it.
I admire you for your commitment to Jesus. One day all this will be behind us..
a1seus "god told people to kill? why does that sound like he messes with free will?" You don't seem to understand free will. Those people still had a choice to obey of not. Free will is being able to make any choice you want to. The results of those choices can be good, bad or relatively neutral.
if u can be born gay, than I can be born with a master degree!
No one is born hating gay people. It's instilled in them by society, religion, and their family.
True, the only thing is, God does not have anything to do with religion.
thank you for all your effort to share and preach the gospel and the Lord Jesus. I love what the brother said “ Im better than I deserved....amen!
the reason many who are not really believers can remain comfortably in most churches is because very little of the gospel is preached. it is a watered down gospel message.
This video is really great! keep up the good work!
I see nothing bigoted about desiring that people attain to eternal life
I like you guys!! You're nice about atheists. I'm atheist but love learning about the religious of the world.
Jesus loves everyone even if u don’t love him back ❤️
Christianity stays firm and will no matter how many years this planet is.
lets hope that baby grows up to be a rational thinker
markman090 I definitely thought there was a fly on my phone 😂
Yep😂 and hopefully he’s not BoRN GAy🥴🥴
These guys are making lots of money from gullible people, like all the tv evangelical preachers.
Two men agreeing to have sex is different than a pedo sexually assaulting/rapeing a child
This was encouraging love your good works BUT better to Give God the Glory rather than 180 ya know.. shalom
Open the Bible and you will know the truth....
Homosexuality is a choice? Tell that to all of the people who have lived in shame, or even taken their own lives because of how ashamed they were in themselves that they could not change the way they felt, and that their families/friends were not supportive. Anyone who believes homosexuality is a choice, or that it can be "turned off" at some sort of Gay to Straight camp is lying to themselves. I am a person of religion, but growing up with a cousin who has been "different" from other boys his age since the day he was born, I support and stand behind homosexuality 100% and no one can make me believe differently.
Of course being gay is a choice.
We all wake up everyday with neutral sexuality and look at a poster of a man and a woman in a bathing suit... Then we choose which one we are going to be sexually attracted to that day. Some days I flip a coin to choose my sexuality.. isnt that how everyone does it?
